Question

How much electricity bill for 1.5 ton AC?

Answer 1

To calculate the electricity bill for a 1.5-ton AC, you'll need to consider the power consumption, which depends on the energy efficiency and how long the AC runs.

### Here’s how to calculate it:

1. **Power Consumption (in kW)**:
   - A 1.5-ton AC typically uses around **1.5 kW to 2 kW** of power.
   - Let’s assume the AC consumes **1.5 kW** per hour for this calculation.

2. **Duration of Usage**:
   - Let’s say the AC runs for about **6 hours per day**.

3. **Energy Consumption**:
   - Energy consumption per day = Power (in kW) × Hours used
   - Energy consumed in one day = 1.5 kW × 6 hours = **9 kWh/day**.

4. **Monthly Energy Consumption**:
   - Energy consumed in one month = 9 kWh/day × 30 days = **270 kWh/month**.

5. **Cost of Electricity**:
   - The cost per unit of electricity varies by location and provider, but it’s typically around **₹7 to ₹10 per kWh** in India.

6. **Total Monthly Cost**:
   - Let’s assume the cost of electricity is **₹8 per kWh**.
   - Monthly cost = 270 kWh × ₹8 = **₹2160**.

So, your electricity bill for running a 1.5-ton AC for about 6 hours a day could be around **₹2160 per month**, depending on the local electricity rate.

If you use it more or less than 6 hours daily, adjust the calculation accordingly!
